Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 171 Sounding the Horn of Counterattack

"Oh...oh...I remember now." The slightly stiff voice sounded again, "Thirty years ago, Shu Yongxiao proposed that federal plan...has it finally come to fruition?"

Several clusters of eerie green will-o'-the-wisps then flickered and ignited in the cave.

By the dim light, Yuehui could see the scene inside the cave—sixty-three coffins were quietly arranged, and a man and a woman were standing beside two of them.

Their appearances remain unchanged since their passing; the men look old, while the women appear younger.

But Moonlight clearly sensed that they had no life force and were obviously undead.

"Greetings, seniors." Yuehui bowed respectfully once again.

"So young, at least it's not those old fogies from the Knights' Temple." The female undead's tone carried a hint of satisfaction.

"You can be smug as you please. In these final moments, you've finally gotten what you wanted," the old man said calmly from the side.

"Haha, child, don't just stand there at the door, come in." The female undead beckoned to him.

Moonlight steadily walked deeper into the cave.

At the same time, the eternal heroes who had been sleeping were also awakened one after another, rising from their coffins.

Although the scene was somewhat eerie, Moonbeam, with his rich experience, was naturally unmoved by these dozens of undead.

"Your name is Yuehui, right?" the old man said. "I am Xiao Huo, the leader of these sixty-three people. Thirty years have passed, tell us what has happened outside all these years."

The eternal heroes gradually gathered around, surrounding the moonlight in the center.

Decades of silence have filled them with an urgent curiosity about the changes in the Temple Alliance today.

Moonlight nodded slightly and recounted the major events that had occurred in the Temple Alliance over the past twenty years.

He recounted in detail the recent holy war and the background of the formation of the New Temple Alliance.

During this time, the Eternal Heroes would ask questions from time to time, and Moonbeam would patiently answer them one by one.

After Yuehui finished speaking, a young-looking female spirit spoke first:
"Thirty years have passed, and that brat Yang Haohan has finally come to his senses. It's a pity we can't leave here easily, otherwise we would definitely settle accounts with those self-serving juniors—they disregarded the overall situation of the alliance for their own selfish interests!"

From her tone of voice, Yuehui immediately realized that this was Shu Yongxiao, whom Xiao Huo had mentioned.

Clearly, this female undead holds a pivotal position among the Eternal Heroes.

“By the way,” Xiao Huo suddenly asked, “after all these years, has anyone gained recognition for the throne of the Eternal God of Creation in the Knights’ Temple?”

Moonlight smiled slightly and replied, "It already has. Just before I set off for the Knights' Holy Mountain, Long Haochen, the Son of Light in my guild, had successfully gained the recognition of the Throne of the God of Eternity and Creation and become its first master. Not only that, but now all six Thrones of the Gods have found their owners."

According to the original trajectory of fate, the throne of wisdom and spirit should have been inherited by Zhang Fangfang.

But for some reason, Yuehui never met him.

Therefore, shortly before Long Haochen gained the recognition of the Throne of the God of Eternity and Creation, this Throne of the God had already been obtained by another newly promoted ninth-tier level two knight who had broken through and comprehended the domain.

Upon hearing Moonshine's words, all the Eternal Heroes present were immediately agitated.

"Six thousand years... We've slept here underground for six thousand years, and it wasn't in vain!" Xiao Huo's voice trembled, his emotions surging.
"When I defied all opposition and gathered the power of all mankind to forge the five Divine Thrones, I made a vow: the day when mankind truly controls the six Divine Thrones will be the day we launch a counterattack against the demons!"

"Heaven has ultimately been kind to us... Just as the flame of our souls was about to be extinguished, the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation... finally recognized its master!"

If they were still made of flesh and blood, they would probably be weeping by now.

The female undead mage, however, keenly noticed another detail and asked softly, "Child, you said that the one who received the recognition of the Throne of Gods was the Son of Light in your group. But since you are the leader, could it be... that your strength is even above his?" Moonlight's lips curled slightly, and she said calmly, "Not really, just a little stronger than them."

"Oh?" Xiao Huo's eyes flickered with soul fire. "Could you tell me about your own growth and that of your Demon Hunter team?"

Yuehui nodded in agreement and then calmly began to explain.

He naturally omitted the details of the Moon Demon race's origins, but he did not conceal the connection between Elex and the Tower of Eternity.

After hearing his narration, the eternal heroes were all deeply moved and speechless.

Although the undead body could no longer gasp for breath, the condensed silence spoke volumes.

"The legacy of two demigods... Heaven blesses humanity, this is truly heaven blesses humanity!" the female undead mage murmured.

Xiao Huo, however, was lost in the memories of Electrolux and sighed softly, "The Glorious Church... I never imagined that the root of everything would begin with the Glorious Church's selfish desires."

As a survivor of the Cataclysm and a witness to the fall of the glorious Papacy, his sighs were filled with the desolation and enlightenment of time.

“Shaga, do you want to test this junior’s strength yourself?” Xiao Huo turned to look at the female undead mage.

"Me? I'd better pass." Shaka shook her head with a light laugh. "Two demigod inheritors, if I can't defeat them, wouldn't I be disgracing the name of the first Temple Master of the Magic Temple?"

“Then I’ll do it.” Xiao Huo turned his gaze to Yuehui, his soul fire flickering slightly in his eyes. “Young man, would you be willing to spar with this old bone of mine for a few moves?”

Yuehui was slightly taken aback, but then realized that this was a test of her strength by her senior, so she naturally did not refuse.

"Please enlighten me, senior," he replied calmly.

The surrounding eternal heroes slowly stepped aside, giving the two enough space.

Although the interior of this cave is simply furnished, it is quite spacious, about one-third the size of the Holy Alliance's Grand Trial Grounds, more than enough for sparring.

Seeing that Xiao Huo was not holding any weapon, Yuehui did not take out the Thousand Chance Umbrella, nor did she summon Lei Ji or Lei Qilin to assist in the battle.

He simply clenched his fist, and a bolt of purple-gold lightning suddenly surged forth, condensing into a dazzling lightning staff.

Seeing his actions, the Eternal Heroes watching nodded in approval.

Xiao Huo's previously dim eyes suddenly lit up, like two cold stars that had suddenly been lit.

At the same time, an even more intense golden light burst forth from his chest, from which a thick, molten gold-like liquid flowed out and quickly spread and covered his entire body.

The liquid was brilliant and condensed; wherever it passed, all traces of the dead were completely purified and concealed.

Under the golden glow, Xiao Huo seemed to be enveloped in a faint golden mist, appearing sacred and majestic.

Upon seeing this, Yuehui was startled.

(Liquid spiritual energy being released externally? It can actually be used like this?)
This was completely beyond his knowledge.

With his current cultivation level, he can instantly release spiritual energy into form, condensing it into armor, arrows, or weapons.

But to control spiritual power so precisely, making it flow like a liquid and cover the whole body, is simply unheard of.

Even Yang Haoyu, the undisputed strongest in the Holy Temple Alliance, could never have done it!

(Skills? Or something more advanced...)
